in those days in the 70s and 80s, opposition parties were strong.

in the 90s and 2000s, opposition parties were weak and government neglected its own situation.
that is why we are facing so many problems now.

in order to have a better singapore, PAP must be voted out.

 

[frenchbriefs]

and yet these stupid mofos continue to vote PAP.

i too miss singapore of the 90s.....who the fuck wants to live in this overcrowded shithole now?its like a cattle farm.everywhere u go its packed to the brim with human bodies,every train,every bus,every mall,every open space.people that u dont want to deal with or see.
in australia u can easily walk 2 miles out of the city center and not see a single soul in sight,its like u have the whole world to urself and all the privacy,no human beings to disturb u and bother u with their "noise".being in singapore is like living in a fucking overcrowded shop house in kowloon city with 20 other families.

we also dont need high pay so long as government dont impose unnecessary taxes on us.

we want government to cut down unnecessary expenses such as brompton bike and herman miller chairs.

when gan kim yong was minister of manpower, he order his men to buid him a bath tub in his office room.

You feel patriotic, from the side of the road watching the parade passing by, no need "goodie bag" to entice you. All you need is a small flag you wave & kids..would have homemade one themselves...Some will even feel much more patriotic to see their sons, marching in SAF uniforms....now, it is a big wayang at whatever it is shown....a spectacle of a nation that has lost its soul to the multitudes of imported foreigners...

This survey results is bad news for PAP, it shows that at least 50% of commoners are unhappy. Looks like the ground is not sweet, PAP is going to lose worse than the last GE.

I happen to talk to a person from the 22-28 years age group, & another around 35 plus age group, his wife & with a child recently at a coffeeshop, first one, complaining of high cost of going to work & eating where the person is working, near Amoy Street; the nearest hawker centre CLOSED FOR RENOVATION, eating became extremely costly, very unhappy with "mee siam am hum". The other, complained about Cost of Living, Housing, bringing up children costs & both husband & wife are working couples..again, very unhappy with "mee siam main hum"...

I guess....the 55 years & above, are very happy with them...after all "OLD IS GOld"...

to experience 70s ndp, born maybe in the 60s lah. I think in those days, the parade contingents are also the same as today. instead of GLCs of today, it schools, unions, PA, civil services ministries and some bigger local companies. I always wonder ndp still call parade when the marching contingent only 15min only. according to my mom, last time contingents must march quite a distance so that citizens lining the street can see. those days no money buy telly and parade during day time. current format machiam north korea arirang mass display festival but compare to the NK, only a half fark standard.

to reflect sg's embrace of ft's, it's time to bring in the ah neh camel contingent. very garang and colorful.

In the BBC TV program "SG at 50" telecast last weekend, it was revealed that a 2012 poll showed that half of the respondents would emigrate if they had the chance.

Can make own sandwich or cup noodles and bring to work. Save time no need to look for food during lunch some more.

Nowadays, I think climate change has affected our environment already. It really feels like an oven sometimes. In the 70's and 80's, we can play football in the afternoon, and morning was really cool. Buses no need aircon also can.
